Amazon Basic Care Miconazole 7, Miconazole Nitrate Vaginal Cream 2 Percent, 7-Day Yeast Infection Treatment For Women, Feminine Care, 1.59 ounce (Pack of 1)

### **Uses:**- **Vaginal Yeast Infections**: Miconazole Nitrate Vaginal Cream is used to treat infections caused by *Candida* species, which can lead to itching, irritation, discharge, and discomfort in the vaginal area.### **How It Works:**- Miconazole interferes with the cell membrane of the yeast (fungus), inhibiting its growth and allowing the immune system to clear the infection. It specifically targets ergosterol, an important component of fungal cell membranes, causing the cells to become compromised and eventually die off.### **Directions for Use:**1. **Read the Instructions**: Before using, read the instructions on the product packaging for specific guidelines on dosage and administration.2. **Apply the Cream**: Miconazole vaginal cream is usually applied directly into the vagina using an applicator. Typically, this is done at bedtime, as lying down may help the cream stay in place.3. **Dosage**: It is available in different dosages, such as a 7-day treatment, 3-day treatment, or single-dose treatment. The 7-day regimen is commonly prescribed for a more severe or persistent infection, while the 3-day and single-dose options are used for less severe cases.4. **Complete the Full Course**: Even if symptoms improve, it’s important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed to ensure the infection is fully cleared.### **Potential Side Effects:**While Miconazole is generally well-tolerated, some people may experience side effects. These can include:- **Vaginal Irritation**: Burning, itching, or discomfort at the site of application.- **Abdominal Discomfort**: Mild stomach discomfort or cramping.- **Headache**: Some users may experience a mild headache.**Important Note**: If you experience severe irritation, an allergic reaction (such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing), or worsening symptoms, you should stop using the product and consult a healthcare provider.### **Precautions:**- **Pregnancy**: Miconazole is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy, particularly during the second and third trimesters, but it’s important to check with a healthcare provider before use.- **Menstrual Period**: If you’re menstruating, it’s recommended to wait until your period is over before starting the treatment, as the cream may be less effective during menstruation.- **Not for Use with Certain Products**: Avoid using tampons, douches, or other vaginal products (such as deodorants or sprays) during treatment, as they may interfere with the medication’s effectiveness.### **When to Seek Medical Advice:**- If this is your first vaginal yeast infection, it’s best to visit a healthcare provider to confirm the diagnosis. Vaginal infections can have symptoms that overlap with other conditions, such as bacterial vaginosis or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which may require different treatments.- If you experience recurring yeast infections (four or more in a year), consult your doctor to rule out underlying health issues such as diabetes or immune system problems.### **Key Points to Remember:**- Miconazole Nitrate Vaginal Cream is effective for treating vaginal yeast infections caused by *Candida*.- Follow the instructions carefully, especially regarding dosage and application.- Complete the full treatment course to avoid the recurrence of the infection.- If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.Always read the label and consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns about the medication.

This works as well as the name brands. The price is good.

What a miracle worker. I used it at night before bed and yes it kind of burns but in a way you know it's working. Felt so much better the next day. Itching was gone. I'm going to guess this is pretty strong. I didn't use the applicators because my issues have been more external. Put the cream on the outside where I have pain and itching. I did use this after an antifungal soap but it seemed okay to do. No harsh chemical smell and consistency is good. Great product.

I had purchased the name brand single day applicator use of this at Walmart yesterday and it did not itch this badly or burn this bad. I used the name brand during the day the day before using this one and I was still having symptoms so had ordered this one and took the first dosage 1.5 hours ago. This first dosage (inserted right before bed) burns and itches to no end. I had to wipe off any product that was on the outside and use an ice pack to stop the burn and itching. Night two was much better and no burning or itching. Night 3 was same as 2. It seems this relieved my issue, but the first night was awful. This product is a bit thicker than the name brand so it does seem to stay inside better.

I did not experience burning like the other reviews. I honestly didn’t read the reviews before purchasing so I was surprised to see multiple people say it burned. No burning here and it cleared up before the 7 days but I continued the full treatment.

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and so uncomfortable I went to bed after using the first application and woke up so itchy to the point I want to itch myself to death! I’ve used it before and it worked and didn’t experience none of this but this time around I’m more miserable than before I took it I’m hoping it helps in the end

I'm not sure why other women experienced bad itching and burning with the 1st dose. I guess it's because they were in denial and let it get to a certain level thinking it'd go away. I felt itching yesterday so I ordered this. Applied it today and 30min later I'm feeling some relief. I don't have extreme itching or burning.

I ended to getting a yeast infection from antibiotics I was on, being on the medication just a few days I figured I caught it in time as the symptoms were not intense but for sure was a result of what was going on.I did one application out of 3- within minutes I was ready to claw down south and cry. I’ve never had this issue before when using other name brands and figured I’d save some mula by using this one, NO. Just spend the extra and get the other one. I know others comments say “you must have let it go blah blah blah” NO. I am always aware of my nether regions and the fact I didn’t have this much pain until I used the product says something. Just don’t even risk it, that’s my opinion.
